While the Delta variant is running its course all over the USA, particularly in places like Florida, Louisiana, and even here in Texas, where the cases of infected and the number of deaths is at an unprecedented all-time high, members of the GOP seemed to have launched a campaign of their own to derail all efforts to convince Americans to take the vaccines.
In places like Florida, you've got DeSantis proselytizing against the vaccines, and instead is pushing Regeneron treatment centers, while Congressman Rand Paul is still touting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as the drugs Americans should be taking and not the vaccines. Paul has politicized this situation so much that he has stated that ivermectin was an effective COVID-19 treatment but medical professionals are letting hatred of Trump override their duty to research further efficacy of these treatments.
